Dieguito

The best documentary short in Brazil. Used in schools to make kids reflect about the social differences in our society..

Very impressive documentary. The ironic narration makes you look at humanity with fresh eyes.

I would recommend looking up "satire" on Wikipedia for those who think that this short suffers from silliness. Penn and Teller is a bit silly too, have you noticed? I think this film works really well in every way it intends to.

Excellent! In the beginning, this film is hilarious, but the moment you realise what it is about it hits you fking hard. Amazing Short with a point!

Very interesting narrative style that reminds me of Kurt Vonnegut's book "Breakfast of Champions" (1973). Wonderful film to make you think but naive to suggest that freedom and money are the cause of this problem. Ownership is slavery and those pigs are getting fattened for the slaughter. Money isn't the root cause either because these people would do just as poorly in a barter system. Still...society must address these tough issues in humanity.
